Happy Birthday, Jordan Ashley! We love you!

Just a Reminder!

Just a quick reminder to return all test papers in your child's test folder on Monday. I save all these until the end of the nine weeks' period. You may have them back then if you wish.

We really appreciated Kathryn's mother and Gracie's mother and grandfather coming to help us with stations on Friday afternoon. The stations run from 12:45 until 2:20. If you could help at that time on Friday, we would love to have you!

This Tuesday third grade will be highlighted at the softball game. I hope each of you will try to be there. I believe the students will stand on the field while the national anthem is being played, and one student will be chosen in a drawing to throw the first pitch.

God bless you with a wonderful weekend.

Happy Birthday, Nanditi!

Today my class had fun celebrating Nanditi's birthday during lunch! God bless you, Nanditi! We love you!

First Week! :)

Well, we have one week under our belt! I already love these children, and I am thankful they are in our school. I am posting the new Bible verse on our blog if your child wants to start studying.

Please return your child's test folder signed. Remember to send back their tests in the folder.

The A.R. on the front of the folder stands for Accelerated Reader. Your child should have at least 1 point. They must have at least a point each week to keep up. I have three computers in my room for taking A.R. tests. Your child is allowed to check out books from my classroom. I have a really big A.R. library.

A very special thanks to Kathryn Corey's mother for coming to help with our stations today. Her help was invaluable. If any of you are free on Fridays from 12:45-2:20, I could sure use you! :)

Also, a special thanks to Will's mother for all her help with my classroom. She has continually helped me with decorations and organization. Thank you, Lorri!!

Have a blessed weekend, and thanks for checking out our blog!

Stations Tomorrow!

We are excited to welcome Natalie to our class today! We're glad you're at Curtis, Natalie!

On Friday, we will have stations from 12:30-2:20. If any parent or grandparent is free, we would love to have you help us. I hope to divide into five stations. This is a great way for my students to learn, and I look forward to having a fun Friday!

The First Day of School!

Today went very well. I was pleased with the behavior of my students, and I was thrilled to have Mrs. Gossage there to help! Just a reminder that if you would like to begin memorizing Ephesians 4:32, it is posted on the blog here.


I was very proud of Will who has already earned his first point for Accelerated Reader! Yeah, Will! Each student is required to read one point per week in third grade. They will have a total of 39 points at the end of the school year. HOWEVER...I am encouraging each of my students to have a 50 point shield by the end of the year, so I hope they will read 1.5 points per week. If all students have 50 points, we will have a Shield Party! Yeah!


Have a blessed weekend! I pray you will be able to worship the Lord with your family on Sunday! I look forward to seeing you all Monday morning!

Open House Thursday

I look forward to meeting with each of you Thursday. Our room will be open from 1-3:00. Please feel free to drop by and pick up your information packet. There will also be a meeting at 6:30 in the sanctuary Thursday night. Of course, school begins Friday morning, and there will be a school wide picnic at 11:30 Friday! I am praying and asking God to give us a wonderful year full of His blessings! See you Thursday!

Welcome Back to School!

A Window into our World is a great way for my parents to know what is happening in our classroom. I look forward to meeting each of you. Please pray with me for God to bless every area of our 2009-2010 school year.
